Lily Allen has hit back at reports claiming she was "giving up alcohol" in a bid to "grow up".

The Smile singer wrote: "Let's give up social media.

She added: "It's killing me. That is all. I feel like we're not evolved enough to handle the internet psychologically. I preferred real records and newspapers with news in them.

"And everything was just better and nicer. We were nicer. And I wouldn't be here."

She finished: "Might sell my twitter right now."

She also replied to a journalist, saying: "Behaviour is learned. Hatred is more accessible than ever, and people think it's OK to be horrible to each other as a result…Might sell my Twitter now."

Back in 2006 Lily revealed that she was going to stop drinking.

Speaking to the Observer, she said: "I've become a character in a comic…and that character is always drunk! I wish my comic character wasn't that."

"I have no intention of taking drugs again at the moment. But I can't say, 'Never again,' because I don't know where I'll be in 10 years' time. And I will definitely drink in the future, just not for a while."
